Prom picture set against a white fence. Natural lighting. Trying to capture that grown up, yet still innocent look of a high school senior soon to graduate.

I think this was a good capture, and you achieved your goal of bring out the adult aspect of the girl.
I don't care for the processing. The hair looks glued together rather than soft and wispy as I imagine it really was. The contrast on the lips is very harsh (little detail of the mouth is visible) and the edges seem over sharpened. I also don't see any detail in the iris of her eyes. Maybe this is due to excessive noise reduction.
I'd like to see the original. I'll bet there are all sorts of good things you could do with it.
fantastic lighting, great intense connection with her, but it appears you've oversharpened it - at least on my monitor. perhaps this in intentional and if so I like the almost retro look, but still doesn't get past the points above for me. I'd really like to give this an 8, but only a 6 due to the processing
pretty girl - the lighting is a little problematic (bright area from behind). Due to this, her skin looks a little blotchy and her hair hanging down is all burned out. I better focus on her eyes would also help. I think you have a great model, I would recommend trying some other lighting approaches (see the tutorials on the site).
Very nice catch light in the eye. I would crop a little different coming down a little from the top and making the bottom larger so that the necklace is not cut off.
